Our Hop Squad of actors and production team members are busily preparing our spring production of A Year with Frog and Toad. Based on the beloved books by Arnold Lobel, this family-friendly musical tells the story of two best friends, the cheerful Frog and the grumpy Toad, through four fun-filled seasons. After waking from hibernation, the friends learn life lessons as they plant gardens, swim, rake leaves and go sledding. This is a charming story of enduring friendship with music by Robert Reale; book and lyrics by Willie Reale; based on the books by Arnold Lobel; and licensed by Music Theatre International.

The core production team includes Director Cody Goeppner, Assistant Director LJ
